I have always known a few facts about these (2) universities, but I did not know many of the facts stated in these Wikipedia entries on the internet. Read and enjoy---I'm sure the info will stir the "fervor" of the UT and aTm faithful.

Wow...I never knew that people could edit the material. That makes me question a lot of what I get from that site now.

Nothing really stands out. It's just information and history about the school.

University of Texas at Austin

The University of Texas at Austin

The University of Texas at Austin, often called UT or Texas, is the flagship institution of the University of Texas System. The main campus is located less than a mile from the Texas State Capitol in Austin. Founded in 1883, the University is sometimes referred to as a "Public Ivy," and it is currently (as of Fall 2005) the fifth largest single-campus in the nation by enrollment (and had the largest enrollment in the country from 1997–2003), with upwards of 50,000 students and 20,000 faculty and staff.[2]

The University also operates various auxiliary facilities located away from the main campus, most notably the J.J. Pickle Research Campus. Texas is a major center for academic research, annually exceeding $380 million in funding. In addition, the University's athletic programs are notable, as demonstrated by Texas's recognition as "America's Best Sports College" in a 2002 analysis performed by Sports Illustrated. In January 2006, Texas won the Division I-A national football championship by beating the USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl.

The University of Texas at Austin has a network of over 450,000 living alumni, one of the largest of any American university.[3]

It does record your IP address. I guess they do keep their integrity somehow.
